Absolutely my favorite catfish! They're literally made of cuteness and wiggles! Thank you for sharing your success with these frisky cuties with us! 🙏💙✌️
I'm loving the cinematic, documentary style. Pygmy Cory's are some of my faves to watch. What are the water parameters and Temp in your Cory tank? I've not had any luck with mine yet! You inspired me to set up my own fish breeding room in my garage here in the UK. Wish me luck.
I keep a 3 gal jar of green water. It has a clump of java fern and a few small drift wood pieces. Some pink ram horn snails, shrimp culls also. Lots of micro life.
I just got a dozen C. habrosus and they are some of the most fun to watch fish I have ever had in my aquarium! You now have inspired me to try the same set-up with this other species. Take care and thanks!
I've got six that I've had for about two months now. They seem to be about half grown in about a 28L tank. Looks like I might have something to look forward to. 🙂300K! Way to go, Nick!
Great video. I have C. Hastatus. I love them, they are so cute. They are happy but I doubt I'll see fry in my alkaline (8.0), hard water. Sure would be fun to see a few though.
These are edited so well! But I love your simpler videos just as much! I’m trying to breed my Hillstream loaches so it would be cool if you did a video on them, but if not then that’s fine too lol. Thanks for the always pumping out great content!
@@dusty8937 I remember watching that one where he set up the tank for Hillstream loaches, but then he could only find Borneo Suckers. Then he was able to get a few local ones because they’re illegal to import to Australia but he just showed putting them in the tank and not really how he bred them. I know he’s shown his baby Hillstream loaches in the vlog for his store, but nothing about his methods or any tips.
Great Video again! As an example: My C. pygmaeus, C. hastatus & C. atropersonatus Populations have been maintaining/reproducing wonderfully for over 20 Years now...approx. Every two Years I add a few new Specimens to freshen up the blood. Many greets from Germany
Amazing little Cory's, in my tank they have never hide, they always had a group of 12 red phantom tetra so they were feeling comfortable to swim from the first moment they entered, they always like to swim with the tetras at the middle or they would be at the sand moving those little mouths
Awesome, been waiting on this video for soo long haha. I have found that it is not as easy as you make it look Nick. I have had my pygmy cory's (group of 11) in a breeding setup for almost 3 months now and have had zero breeding activity. I am sure that all of them are sexually mature because I have had them in another tank for around 6 months before placing them in a breeding setup. Could you give some information about your water parameters, feeding and maybe other useful information?
I keep my pygmy Corydoras with least killifish. The least killifish must be eating the Corydoras fry because I have around 100 least killifish and about the same number of Corydoras that I started with years ago. After seeing this video I want to try a tank with pygmy Corydoras by themselves!
they say they're one of the easier ones to breed, mine just won't. I've bred julli's and salt and peppers, but my pygmys just won't. I want my tank swarming with them, they're so cute
Haven’t had any success with these guys unfortunately. This video makes me want to try again in a specific tank maybe in an area with less foot traffic since mine are so easily spooked. I started with 4 a year and a half ago, then soon added another 8, unfortunately I’m down to just three now. I really do suspect it’s the location of the tank that’s stressing them out. All Ive got in with them are cherry shrimp (population is booming)
Maybe one day illl make a tank just for them cuz they don’t populate with other species that’s for sure , and always hide even with tetras only around 😢
I remember the first time I bred fish, I did this and I did that...and they all died. So the next time they bred, my friend said "just do nothing. They will find food." I ended up having multiple generations.
Hi man big fan of your videos, I’m new to the hobby had my tank running 2 weeks now. I have 6 neon tetras and 3 Corys. I hope you can help me out here as no matter what I do I can’t get the clear water it’s still so cloudy! I’ve tested my ammonia and it’s tested 0 and also nitrate test all good. I’ve got a air filter with different directional flows and also a airstone setup at the other side of the tank, I’m doing water changes every other day and my water is still cloudy what would you recommend?
